Ptefferl (2006) stated it is time to start an evidence –based movement in ranking manager, because the challenge is greater in management than medicine.

For example, I have observed charge nurse making decision for an entire unit. I will present a definition of different roles play by nurses at my Monroe Hospital. I found managers at bedside doing dressing and charge nurse making decision resulting in a dual role that could impact management of the unit efficiency. Another important finding that I believe exist in some of the literature is management and leadership functions is more distributed from top to bottom among nurses. Unfortunately they do not address the importance of education and constant Training for nurses in the manager
